Can you say dreamy? I’m loving these creative boudoir photos taken by photographer Shannon Mathis of Mi Amore Foto! They run the gamut from fashion to portrait to experimental images and they show just what modern boudoir photos can be – anything you envision! Back in our own shooting days Blair and I used to say that our goal was “to photograph you the way you want to be seen, to reveal what is inherently beautiful in your world” and it seems Shannon loves to shoot with a similar approach. She doesn’t go for traditional “boudoir” but creates images according to each client’s personality. She says, “I think it all depends on the woman I’m photographing and the emotion she gives off.” Lovely!

I happen to be a shoe fanatic. Beautiful shoes simply make me happy, and seem to be the soul of any ensemble. OF COURSE I love a good pair of wedding shoes and am delighted to see what each and every bride we showcase on Junebug chooses to wear on her wedding day. Classic, crazy, tall, flat, extravagant or none at all – there are perfect wedding shoes for every woman.
Now, there’s another fun option for brides everywhere to add to their list of possibilities… hand painted wedding shoes from artist Deborah Thomson from Figgie Shoes! With a tattoo-esque illustration style, Deborah customizes each pair of shoes to tell the couple’s personal love story, and they are a sight to see! It all began with a creative request from a friend, and now, countless weddings later, Figgie Shoes is going strong and creating custom keepsakes unlike anything else out there, for brides of all kinds.

What kind of wedding shoes are you thinking of wearing?
What adjectives that best describe your wedding?Exquisite, rustic, enchanting, blissful
What inspired your personal wedding style, and how did you incorporate your style and personalities into your big day?Our wedding style all began with this amazing bowl that my mom and I found shopping one day. My mom bought it for us as an engagement present and it ended up being the piece that our wedding look flowed from. Its this oversized burled, wooden bowl that perfectly captures Jake and my personal taste! Hes a hunter and Im totally into the rustic hunter cabin look thats casual, warm and inviting with lots of wood and earthy tones and textures. But as my dad likes to say, I have expensive taste and I like things to look NICE. This is where the exquisite and rustic look came from. Ever since I was a little girl, Ive loved butterflies, so we had to add a few touches here and there – I couldnt believe that you could buy live butterflies online and have them shipped for your special event!
Looking back, what are the moments, decisions or memories that you love the most about your wedding?Jakes whole family flew out a week early from Minnesota and were able to see where Im from and where Jake and I will be living. Theyd never been to California before, so it was fun for them to see some of the highlights and just be able to relax out by the pool and spend a lot of quality family time together. We even rented a trolley and did some wine tasting on our way over to the coast which was an absolute blast and everyone really enjoyed!
Our favorite moment of the wedding was during the ceremony, when Jake and I walked out towards the edge of the cliff overlooking the ocean and prayed together for our unity moment. It was so intimate and personal and its a memory well cherish forever. We were SO glad that we chose to do a destination wedding – everyone came a day or two early to spend a fun weekend away, so it was laid back, low stress, and people were ready to have a good time!
What was your wedding color palette?Earthy tones with eggplant purple, mustard golden yellow, and mossy green.
